Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of green energy technology, and specifically relates to a wind-solar hydrogen production system and a wind-solar hydrogen production method, especially a stable wind-solar hydrogen production system and a wind-solar hydrogen production method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of wind and photovoltaic power generation technologies, the proportion of renewable energy in my country's power generation is increasing, and the amount of renewable energy generated is also increasing. Hydrogen, as a carrier of clean energy, is a key component of China's energy transition. According to my country's hydrogen energy planning and market demand, hydrogen demand is expected to experience explosive growth in the future. Currently, the main source of hydrogen is fossil fuel production, which emits significant amounts of greenhouse gases during the production process. Hydrogen production through water electrolysis can produce high-purity hydrogen with near-zero carbon emissions. Water electrolysis is the primary method for producing green hydrogen and is powered by the main power grid. However, electricity costs lead to high production costs, making it less costly than fossil fuel-based hydrogen. Therefore, to reduce the cost of water electrolysis and promote the uptake of new energy, combining renewable energy with water electrolysis technology to achieve the conversion of electricity into hydrogen will help promote the development of my country's hydrogen energy industry.

[0003] However, wind power output is subject to significant fluctuations due to the influence of natural wind conditions. This volatility manifests itself primarily in two ways: a large diurnal variability, meaning that wind power output fluctuates significantly within a single day; and a large seasonal variability, meaning that wind power output varies significantly between seasons. This volatility contributes to the strong seasonality and intermittency of wind power generation. Similarly, the output of photovoltaic power generation systems is directly affected by natural conditions, particularly variations in solar irradiance. When solar irradiance intensity fluctuates rapidly, the output of photovoltaic power generation systems fluctuates rapidly over a wide range. This volatility also contributes to the randomness and intermittency of photovoltaic power generation systems. Due to the uncertainty of natural conditions, the output of both wind and photovoltaic power generation systems is subject to uncertainty and volatility. This volatility not only affects the stability of the power generation system but also impacts downstream hydrogen consumption systems. Specifically, during hydrogen production from wind and solar power generation, this volatility can cause fluctuations in the hydrogen-oxygen pressure in the hydrogen electrolyzer, which in turn reduces the electrolyzer's lifespan and increases safety risks. At the same time, this volatility will also reduce the quality and purity of hydrogen, resulting in the inability to provide a stable amount of hydrogen to downstream users. Summary of the Invention

[0036] V 产 =V 储 / T (2)

[0037] Wherein, T is the cumulative full-load operation time of the water decomposition hydrogen production module.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hydrogen outlet pressure of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module is 3-20 kPa.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hydrogen outlet pressure of the low-pressure hydrogen storage module is 2-15 kPa.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the design pressure value of the low-pressure hydrogen storage module is determined according to the design parameters of the hydrogen compressor inlet.

[0041] The present invention also provides a method for producing hydrogen from wind and solar power, comprising producing hydrogen using the aforementioned wind and solar power generation system.

The hydrogen produced by the water electrolysis hydrogen production module is then transferred through a positive water seal to a low-pressure hydrogen storage module for storage.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for producing hydrogen from wind and solar power comprises the following steps:

[0043] S1. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic power generation module and the wind power generation module supplies power to the water electrolysis hydrogen production module. The water electrolysis hydrogen production module electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The prepared hydrogen is stored in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module after passing through a positive water seal, and / or is compressed by a hydrogen compression module (such as a water ring hydrogen compressor) for use by the downstream hydrogen use module;

[0044] S2. When the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation module and the wind power generation module is greater than the power consumption of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module, the energy storage module works to store the excess power generation;

[0045] S3. When the hydrogen storage in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module exceeds the preset maximum value, the hydrogen is fed back to the water electrolysis hydrogen production module, which stops working or reduces the power. The excess power generation is stored in the electric energy storage module.

[0046] S4. When the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation module and the wind power generation module is less than the power consumption of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module, the hydrogen stored in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module is consumed first (the hydrogen stored in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module is compressed by the hydrogen compression module through the reverse water seal and supplied to the downstream hydrogen module while flowing back to the water electrolysis hydrogen production module to stabilize the hydrogen outlet pressure of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module); when the hydrogen stored in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module is less than the preset minimum value, the electric energy storage module is turned on to supply power to the water electrolysis hydrogen production module.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the hydrogen outlet pressure of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module is 3-20 kPa.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the temperature in the water electrolysis hydrogen production module is controlled at 80-90°C.

[0049] Beneficial effects:

[0050] (1) The wind-solar hydrogen production system of the present invention can stabilize the hydrogen outlet pressure (3-20kPa) of the electrolyzer of the wind-solar hydrogen production module, thereby continuously providing a stable amount of hydrogen for the downstream hydrogen module. Among them, the stable low-pressure hydrogen storage module pressure is prevented from fluctuating widely with the fluctuation of the wind-solar power generation load by the “positive and reverse water seals” (i.e., positive water seals and reverse water seals) at the hydrogen side outlet of the hydrogen production electrolyzer, thereby maintaining the stability of the hydrogen-oxygen pressure difference of the electrolyzer. The present invention sets a low-pressure hydrogen storage module of corresponding volume according to the cumulative hydrogen production of the electrolyzer in 24 hours and the stable hydrogen demand per hour of the downstream customers, which can provide a stable amount of hydrogen for 24 hours for the downstream. At the same time, the present invention prevents the hydrogen stored in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module from flowing back to the electrolytic water hydrogen production module and the hydrogen pipeline connected thereto by setting a “reverse” water seal, so that the hydrogen pressure in the low-pressure hydrogen storage module is always kept at a constant pressure, so that the inlet pressure of the hydrogen compression module connected thereto is constant, thereby promoting the stable operation of the compressor of the hydrogen compression module to extend its service life.

[0051] (2) The synergistic effect of the forward and reverse water seals and the low-pressure hydrogen storage module in the wind-solar hydrogen production system of the present invention has the following advantages compared with high-pressure hydrogen storage equipment such as high-pressure spherical tanks:

[0052] 1. The low-pressure hydrogen storage module has a constant and low pressure, which reduces the risk of hydrogen leakage and increases safety.

[0053] 2. The low-pressure hydrogen storage module serves as the outlet pressure of the hydrogen pressure regulating valve of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system, reducing the difficulty of adjusting the hydrogen side pressure regulating valve of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module caused by fluctuations in the wind power generation module and the photovoltaic power generation module, thereby reducing the hydrogen pressure fluctuation of the water electrolysis hydrogen production module and thus reducing the fluctuation of hydrogen quality.

[0054] 3. The hydrogen pressure of the hydrogen storage module will not change with the changes in the hydrogen production volume of the hydrogen production module and the downstream hydrogen consumption, but can always maintain a constant hydrogen pressure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
